AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- It's 3 am, your child has a fever, and that dose of ibuprofen hasn't kicked in yet. You wish there was something safe and simple you could do to make her feel better, but what? Mommy's ER is a 3-part DVD library of safe, simple, natural remedies parents can use to offer relief at any time. Each DVD is packed with easy-to-understand segments and demos that educate users on everything from how to teach yourself (and your child!) simple acupressure treatments, nutritional information even facts on the healing powers of herbs. The first DVD focuses on acute conditions, such as fever or sore throat. The second reviews chronic conditions, such as ear infections and allergies. The third DVD examines ways to support overall health and well-being. The best part? All of the treatments can be used alone or in conjunction with a pediatrician's recommendations.

Mommy's ER is a unique combination of Eastern medicine, Western sensibilities, and good-old fashioned common sense. Austin mom Jennifer Crain, a licensed acupuncturist and former public health researcher and virologist, created the DVDs. "Mommy's ER was born out of personal experience," says Crain. "When my son was one, he had an ear infection he just couldn't shake. After three unsuccessful attempts with antibiotics, I drew from my knowledge of Chinese medicine. He hasn't had ear trouble since." Crain specializes in treating complicated children's health conditions by using acupressure, Japanese-style acupuncture and nutritional healing. She holds a Masters Degree in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine from the Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin.

Mommy's ER comes in a 3 volume set for $79.95 and is available at http://www.mommyser.com/. Jennifer Crain is available for press interviews and as an expert on Eastern medicine and acupuncture for children and adults.
